There you have it, the entire list of “off the shelf” items that
go into a Kestrel frame. Because every Kestrel frame – road, mountain
or tri – is designed entirely from scratch by our team of engineers
and designers, from the proprietary modular monocoque composite structures
to the model-exclusive machined, stamped or forged details that finish it
off. Unlike our competition, we don’t use any pre-made, off the shelf
tubesets, stay assemblies, or even metal fitments. No generic “private
labeled” forks, either – every Kestrel road and tri frame comes
with its own model- and size-specific Kestrel fork design. Aluminum
rivnuts. Stainless rivets.
